A boy who nearly died after losing his mother at age seven grew up to become one of West Texas's most pioneering oncologists — and he's now telling the full story.

Dr. Fazlur Rahman joins Brigitte Cutshall on Real Things Living for his second visit, this time diving into his newly republished memoir "Temple Road."

It's a book about the literal jungle path he walked from his small Bangladesh village to school, and the metaphorical roads that carried him from there to medical school in Dhaka, residency in New York, and decades of groundbreaking cancer care in rural West Texas.

3 Takeaways:

(1) Your origin story is your fuel.

(2) Wisdom doesn't require a diploma.

(3) Find your temple roads.

If this story moved you, share it with someone who needs a reminder that it's never too late to find your purpose.

Imagine waiting ten days for important biopsy results only to discover the patient sample was entirely lost; meaning someone has to go under the knife all over again. In modern medical systems, this chaotic scenario is more common than you think.

Sam Yeruva, Founder and CEO of PyCube, sat down with Brigitte Cutshall on Real Things Living to discuss how modernizing and digitizing the workflows behind the scenes can dramatically reduce medical errors, lower provider burnout, and save lives.

"When your processes are not digitized... you can't improve. You just have to look at things from the outside. When [healthcare workers] know that they can solve and take care of a patient better, their eyes get lit up." — Sam Yeruva

Key Takeaways:

(1) Solutions Sell, Not Just Technology

(2) The Necessity of a "Curiosity Quotient" (CQ)

(3) Digitize before you can optimize

Getting hit by a car cracked Tyler's femur — and shattered everything he thought he knew about fitness.

Tyler Bramlett, co-founder of WeShape, joins Brigitte Cutshall on Real Things Living to flip the fitness script. After a cycling accident forced him to relearn movement from scratch, Tyler discovered that the industry's obsession with intensity is exactly what keeps people stuck — or injured.

His approach starts at the foundation: quality of movement, foot mechanics, and the self-worth that makes healthy habits actually last.

WeShape's smart algorithm builds daily, personalized workouts based on how you're actually feeling that day — no cookie-cutter routines, no shame spirals.

3 Key Takeaways:

(1) Quality before intensity. If you don't learn how your body is supposed to move first, the method doesn't matter — you'll get hurt.

(2) Your body is one system. Flat arches can cause shoulder pain. Fix the root, not just the symptom.

(3) Shame doesn't stick. Lasting change comes from valuing your body, not punishing it.
